Dear Valued Partner,
In today’s business environment, business leaders understand that aligning their people strategies with their business goals is critical to the success of the organization. With this shift, the role of HR has become increasingly complex and challenging. HR is now a strategic partner, contributing to significant business decisions, advising on critical transitions, and developing the value of the workforce.
For the past 19 years, enhancing the practice of human resource management and effectiveness of HR professionals has been the focus of the Washington State Employment Law & HR Conference. On March 8, 2019, approximately 700 HR and Business Leaders will convene at the Downtown Sheraton in Seattle, Washington to discuss critical HR & Employment Law issues for the Washington businesses. Conducting business in Washington State has continued to become more complex and as the largest HR gathering in Washington State, this conference offers high visibility within the business community. Companies of all sizes rely on the Washington State Employment Law & HR Conference as a resource for their decision makers across a variety of industries and organizational lines. They are eager to discover and implement actionable, workplace strategies. We are in the final discussions with some amazing, not-to-miss keynote speakers, so stay tuned!
The Washington State Employment Law & HR Conference is an opportunity to build awareness for your brand among business and HR leaders through-out Washington State. We offer a wide range of sponsorship opportunities to suit your needs. I encourage you to review the enclosed details and join us for this outstanding event. Historically opportunities sell out quickly. Please note important dates for sponsorship discounts are outlined in the prospectus and booth selection is based on contract submission date.
On behalf of the entire Washington State Employment Law & HR Conference Committee and Washington State SHRM, I hope you’ll choose to partner with us for what’s shaping up to be our most successful conference yet.
Sincerely,
Sarah Bowles, MBA, SHRM-SCP, SPHR Conference Director Washington State SHRM
